Hello Product Hunt!✋
I'm happy to introduce you Funlistr - a media content TODO for you and your friends.
Why I built it?
- I always struggled with keeping a list of things I want to watch/read/play . My friends' recommendations were spread all over different chats and their comments on why they recommended it usually were lost
- Have you ever cooked some nice food and wanted to watch a movie only to waste an hour-two to pick one while your food was getting cold? I always had this problem, even if had the list, I'd look at it and would say "the description is boring", "why I even add this to the list", "I don't like the cover", etc
- We live in the age of media content abundance, there is always something cool coming out be it a game or a book, we physically can't follow everything. We can try to get some recommendations based on IMDB ratings or blogs, but I don't trust them these days, though I trust my friends' recommendations.
- I had a very specific problem - picking a movie during movie nights that no one has watched.
If you have similar problems here is how Funlistr can help you:
- Have a TODO and historical list of media content you consume. You add items there by searching an extensive database of content instead of manually adding all content information
- Give and receive your friends' recommendations with their comments. Take a look at the content history of your friends. See friends' rating on the scale that makes sense: 💩 😐 👍 ❤️
- Solve "movie-selection paralysis" by randomizer that selects 3 content items randomly from your list and you can pick one
- Movie night mode: select your friends and get a list of movies that none of you have watched
- Import your games from Steam (I'm working on other integrations as well)
- Mobile web version to quickly add something on the go
- Minor features like links to movie trailers/steam, length of content, etc
PS: this project is a rework of my old project Content Diggers which was rather a failure to the point when it wasn't even usable for me. So I worked on my mistakes to the point where I'm happily using Funlistr myself. And now I'm trying to figure out whether this project can bring value to more people :)
